Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Solution
Speaker does not power on.	Ensure the battery is charged. Connect the speaker to a power source and allow it to charge for at least 30 minutes before attempting to power on again.
Cannot pair via Bluetooth.	Ensure the speaker is in Bluetooth pairing mode. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your device. Move your device closer to the speaker (within 10 meters). Turn off and on both the speaker and your device's Bluetooth. Forget "BT01" from your device's Bluetooth list and try pairing again.
Poor FM radio reception.	Relocate the speaker to an open area, away from obstacles or other electronic devices that may cause interference. Perform an auto-scan again to find stronger signals.
TF card not playing.	Ensure the TF card is inserted correctly into the slot. Verify that the audio files on the TF card are in a compatible format (e.g., MP3). Try a different TF card to rule out card issues.
No sound or low volume.	Adjust the Tuning/Volume Dial on the speaker. If in Bluetooth mode, check the volume level on your paired device. Ensure the speaker is not muted.
